We don’t get paid even close to $2k/hr. Where is that number from? Many physicians type notes, others use dragon dictation, or medical assistants/scribes.

I used to type, now I dictate.

Quality of note is provider dependent though. If an LLM can improve quality of notes across the board through simple summary that’s interesting. But the input matters - is the provider actually asking the right questions? Did they look at past relevant history and other notes and put it in their current note?

The LLM should be in a HIPAA compliant environment and have access to the EMR. Then it provides a tidy summary for that. Second it should have relevant questions for the provider to ask during the interview but also a real time/dynamic component which generates relevant follow up questions dependent on patient responses.

Lastly it should put together the old and the new and generate a new note which can then be edited by the provider. Editing notes is much easier than generation of a new high quality note.
